Sometimes the art of being a good graphic designer, and other things too I suspect, is being able to explain to someone why you are right without telling them they are wrong.
Gig glamour in the High Peak.

New one is out. A long one, with some cracking music, and an unmissable discussion of nosebleed lore. singyonder.substack.com/p/roud-91-cl...

Two wonderful alt-folk and trad folk releases that Iβve mastered here recently. First up is βThe Frog, The Mouse, The Ship, The Cabin Boyβ by @bitybooker.bsky.social which is something else. And second is the superb compilation βSing Yonder 2β curated by @karlsinfield.bsky.social. Big recommends.
Feel free to get in on the action. You know what to do... karlsinfield.bandcamp.com/merch
Absolutely love getting a creative unpackaging photo when people get their Sing Yonders. Thanks @satnamvocalist.bsky.social @highpeakrecordings.bsky.social @fredsl.bsky.social β€β€β€
Nothing makes me happier than an artfully presented de-packaging photo! Hope everyone's Sing Yonders (Sing's Yonder?) are arriving in pristine condition.
Thanks Fred, enjoy the music! β€οΈ

Rather handsome book and CD set of Sing Yonder 2, bearing an illustration of an aloof frog. They are set artistically upon a stone path strewn with dried leaves. It's art, trust me.
The CDs have arrived! Copies going out to paid subscribers today, then I will work through the preorders tomorrow. Thank you all for your support.
Sing Yonder 2 is the featured album on this week's Alternative Roots radio!
